1 | Can a believer be possessed? | 2 Cor 1:22 | BradK | 46762 | ||
Dear Hank-Alive, I was somewhat puzzled with your response to Phebe regarding how a believer knows if he/she is possessed. Where is the scriptural support for your statement that "demons can and do indwell the bodies of believers". Also, in Acts 5:3 the context needs to be clearly understood. It does not say that Annanias was possessed by Satan!( for that matter, scripture doesn't infer that he was or wasn't a "believer") He (Peter) asks, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit. In verse 4 it says, why has thou conceived this thing in thine heart?. This is a long way from "proving" that a believer can be possessed. Outside of the OT and Gospels, there are no recorded instances in the Pauline Epistles of demons or demonic possession. Yours In Christ, BradK |

2 | Can a believer be possessed? | 2 Cor 1:22 | Mommapbs | 46763 | ||
We are God's possession! (see also Eph 1:4) Jesus said, "no one can snatch them out of my hand." John10:28 Upon confession of faith in Jesus, the believer is SEALED (Eph 4:30) with the Holy Spirit. Ownership is established (2 Cor 1:22) - we have been BOUGHT with a price - the shed blood of Christ! "Don't you know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit?" (1 Cor. 6:19-20) The Holy Spirit is our deposit upon salvation, guaranteeing the promise of God and His presence IN our life - Christ is IN you, and once He is there, the devil and his demons cannot be! (Yes, they can and do influence believers, but they cannot possess what God has purchased! Praise Him!) Hope this helps assure you that as a believer the Devil has no authority to possess your life! And one day, we will be free from his evil influence forever! Looking to that Day! Mommapbs |

3 | Can a believer be possessed? | 2 Cor 1:22 | Amanda01 | 46790 | ||
Many believers have a problem when we say a Christian can have a demon. My Aunt and Uncle have seen hundreds of Christians delivered from demons and it is a fact that yes, a Christian can have a demon. What seems to be a hindrance to accepting this is the term "demon possessed." when referring to a Christian this would be unbiblical because possessed would mean that the demons own them. A Christian can be tormented by a demon but it could not possess them. Ownership of a Christian belongs to God. It is biblical that both believers and non believers can be afflicted by demons. Ephesians 6:12 says Christians have to battle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These are demons. We are told in the scriptures that we will come against these spirits. The good news is we have the authority to cast them out. Besides, what would you rather do, stay bound up because it does not fit your theology, or say, "Yes Lord, I want to do whatever it takes to be free, I'm tired of this torment." To read about how they affect us look at 1 Tim 4:1, Matt 17:20, Rev 16:13-14, Luke 13:16, Matt 10:1, Mark 5:2; 7:25, Luke 8:27-29, Rev 16:13; 18:2 Your friend in Christ, Amanda01 Information from :Deliverance and Restoration Manual" Published by Isaiah 62:4 Ministries Rev.
